The are at least two major categories of photography.  The first, and most abundant, is a documentary style, where a subject is captured, more or less, as is.

This is fine art photography.

Fine art photography is about the artist and their interpretation of the scene. The camera is merely a tool to create art – it’s not about what the camera sees, but is instead about what the artist wants to make of the scene.
